The Kindle now lets you see what other readers have highlighted. I look forward to the day when I can filter this by what my friends have highlighted.
I find what people highlight in fiction books is baffling. For example, is this quote meaningful to you?
Jace didn’t take his eyes off Simon; there was an electric anger in his gaze, and a sort of challenge that made Simon long to hit him with something heavy. Like a pickup truck.
It was to many others. They highlighted it. Is it memorable because of the pickup truck? If not, why? If so, is that really the most memorable thing they’ve read today? If so, I have a few RSS feeds to recommend.
I love reading things my friends recommend through Twitter and Google Reader. Kindle highlights, which are not by friends but by everybody, have not been so interesting …
Please do recommend those RSS feeds to me =)
